How to Makeup (week 6)

Hi, readers! This week I will talk about how to do make up (which most girls like to know), and I divide makeup for three parts: pre-makeup, facial makeup, and remove makeup. Please don't think that makeup is somehow inconvenient, for you think that you won’t have a good looking with cosmetics. Therefore, all you need to do is give yourself a reason that make up can make you pretty though you have to spend some minutes. Enjoying the period you do make up, and you will satisfy your beautiful face.

First of all, pre-makeup plays an important role in make up. The purpose of pre-makeup is to make your face become moist so that the cosmetics on your face can be perfectly fit. Wanting to have a moist face you can do two things everyday: drinking water moderately and taking care your face with moisturizer.

The following picture is the way you can do for pre-makeup. The first step is to tap some toning lotion on the face. Although there are plenty of brands and effects of toning lotions, you can select the usual one you use so that it can make your stratum corneum of your face soften and make the cosmetics be fit on the face. The second step is to apply the moisturizer on the face. For this step, you can massage your face, increase blood circulation, and make your face more flexible.



In addition, you can do make up after you do pre-makeup. There are several parts of make up: whole face, eyebrow, eyeliner, eyelashes, eye shadow, blusher, and lip.

First, you can apply powder foundation and face foundation with your whole face, for this procedure you can not only have a good complexion but also protect your face. How you apply the powder foundation you can use the sponge or the finger pulp, and make sure that your face look like nature with powder foundation. The method you can apply the face powder after applying the powder foundation is to use the powder puff or the face powder brush, so that the powder foundation can match with face powder for avoiding the powder falling off.

The following picture is the method you can do with powder foundation and face powder. The first step is to apply the powder foundation on your dark circle (which is around your eyes). The second step is to apply the powder foundation on your cheeks moderately. The third step is to apply the powder foundation on eye bag again slightly so that you can avoid unnecessary wrinkles. The forth step is to apply the powder foundation on the end of eyes for checking the border of upper and lower eyeliners is applied or not. The fifth step is to apply the powder foundation on the nose wings. The sixth step is to apply the powder foundation on the border of the forehead and the hair for avoiding it staining the hair. The seventh step is to apply the powder foundation on the border of face and neck, for avoiding the obvious colors between the face and the neck. The eighth step is to apply the powder foundation on the visible blemishes which you have. Finally, you just need to use the brush to apply the face powder on the face, which is used to make sure that powder foundation won’t be easily fall off when touching or else.



The following two videos are showing about how you can apply powder or liquid foundation on your face; therefore, you can learn from them and choose the favorite one you like when you do make up in the future.

Secondly, everyone has their own shapes of eyebrows, so do not shape them with strange figures but with your natural shape. This means that you just need to shave them from messy to neat so that you will look more energetic.

The following picture is the way you can do with the eyebrows. First, to draw your eyebrows with eyebrow pencil (you have to draw from the middle to the end then the beginning), and make sure that the beginning of eyebrows have the slight color and others can be dark color. Second, after drawing with eyebrow pencil you need to use the brush to make the color (which is on the eyebrows) looks more natural and soft. Third, brushing your eyebrows with comb (that is only use for eyebrows), so the eyebrows can be obvious. After the above steps, you can have natural contours with your eyebrows.

Third, the eyeliner is always forgotten in these days, for people may think it is not important at all. However, drawing the eyeliners moderately with eye shadow can make your eyes look amazing, so why not just draw it?

The following picture can indicate you about how to draw eyeliners. First, to sharpen the eyeliner pencil and draw it on the hand beforehand for making sure that won’t hurt you; besides, you can soften it by drawing on the hand (because drawing means rubbing, and rubbing can generate heat). Then, use the pen by drawing from the middle to the end and the beginning of the edge of eyelashes and eyelids. Also, make sure that the line is narrow or you will look weird. Finally, you can draw the eyeshadow, which can match with the eyeliner, so your eyes can look pretty.

Fourth, to make your eyes look big, you can not only draw the eyeliner but also use the mascara to brush your eyelashes. As the following picture, you can do the mascara by its steps. Firstly, you can curl the eyelashes by using the eyelash curler. All you can do with the eyelash curler is to separate your eyelashes for three parts, so curling them for three times in different lengths of the eyelashes. Secondly, brushing the mascara from the bottom area to upper area with Z (which means you can brush it like what Z looks like), thus your eyelashes can all be brushed. Finally, you can brush the mascara at the down eyelashes, and after all these three steps you will have amazing eyes.

The Cosmetics (week 4)

Wanting to know what they are?

Hi, readers! I am talking about the cosmetics this week; because before we make up ourselves, we have to understand what kinds of cosmetics we need to use and what they use for. Thus, wish you can learn the cosmetics by my introduction.
First of all, there are ten steps we make up, and there are different cosmetics we use by each step. The cosmetics are: toning lotion, moisture lotion, concealer, powder foundation, face powder, eye shadow, mascara, eye liner, eyebrow pencil, lipstick, and blush.

(1) Toning Lotion

After you clean your face, applying some toning lotion, which can moisture your face and make your face better; or if your face is dry without using toning lotion, the makeup might not perfectly fit on your face. Thus, choosing the toning lotion with high moisture content is better to your face when you need to make up.

(2) Moisture Lotion

The moisture lotion is using after toning lotion, and it can keep the moisture of your bottom face and make the oil and moisture (which are within your face) balance. To moisturize your face well, the pores on your face will become smaller than before. There are some cosmetics like basic cream, lotion, essence serum have the same function like using the moisture lotion, so you can select what you like or which is suitable to you.

(3) Concealer

The concealer is used to cover some blemishes on you face, such as the black eyes, acne scars, wrinkles, freckles. Why people use it is that after we are over 25 years old, our metabolism become worst than before, so some blemishes appear on our faces. You can use your finger pulps to apply the concealer on your face when using it.

(4) Powder Foundation

The function of powder foundation is a little same like the concealer; but when you apply it, you have to make the depth of powder foundation unequal, for that can highlight the texture of your skin and make your face stereoscopic. The right way to apply it is by using finger pulp to cover the imperfection, and then using the sponge to press your face slowly on your face.

(5) Face Powder

The face powder is used to keep our makeup with a perfect situation, and it also can control the oil on our face. Using it by powder puff to tap our face even , and press the powder puff slowly around our eyes. Therefore, the face powder can keep longer on your face.

(6) Eye Shadow

By using the eye shadow, you can highlight your eyes by different drawings and colors. The bright colors of eye shadow can show the light perception of your eye, and the dark colors can display the shadow. To combine this two colors creatively, you can make your eye look more beautiful and have many layers.

(7) Mascara

The mascara is the most important cosmetics, which can make our eyes look bigger and bigger, for people who want to have good-looking. Brushing the mascara by various ways can become different effect, thus don't forget to apply the mascara if you want to have an amazing eyes.

(8) Eye Liner & Eyebrow Pencil

Have nice eyebrow shapes can strengthen the charming eyes that people look at you, so painting by it with the eyebrow shape can make you have pretty eyes. By the way, before drawing your eyebrow, remember to shape them first by the form that suitable to you.

(9) Lipstick

The lipstick can make the women look confident and healthy, so you just need to apply it on you lips and then use the tissue or the facial absorbent paper to absorb the extra lipstick.

(10) Blush

The blush has the same purpose like the lipstick, for it can make people look more healthy and stereoscopic. The usage to the blush is that: you need to pay attention to the width you apply the blush on your lovely face, and don't draw it over 3 to 4 centimeter.

In addition, by introducing the cosmetics above, the cleansing oil plays an vital role in the steps of makeup, to apply it after you wash your all day's makeup can make you have a pretty face to do another makeup. Don't ignore it, or beautifying by makeup won't make you pretty anymore!

Finally, although you may know how the cosmetics use by my introduction, there is a significant thing that you also have to pay attention, and it is : how to buy and select. You have to realize that do the cosmetics have some marks on them, such as the usage, the ingredient, the preserve method, the important notice, the manufacture, the manufacture date, the date saved, the address or place that manufacture produce products, and the weight.

★ Vocabulary ★

(1) blemish (n.)

a mark on the skin or an object that spoils it and make it look less beautiful or perfect.

How to Care Your Face Correctly (week 3)

Hello, my dear readers! Today I will introduce some methods about how to care your face, and hoping that they can really help you and teach you the correct ways which you may make mistakes before.

First of all, how do you clean your face everyday? Just apply the cleanser on your face randomly and wash it away instantly, and then wipe water from your face by a towel or let it dry for few minutes? Is that kind of situations you always do to your so-called face? I think from now on, it is time to know how to care your face, or your face will be ageing, wrinkled, and terrible very soon. The most important thing is to realize how the facial muscle looks like. Although the following pictures might terrify you, you still can actually understand it by watching them.



By watching the facial muscle pictures, you can realize how our facial muscle forms. Now you can start clean or massage your face by the muscle lines; for instance, the muscles around our eyes look like circles, so you can use your hands by drawing circles around your eyes; how to clean or massage your others parts can depend on what the muscles look like on your face. The reason why I tell about the facial muscle picture is that by knowing them, you can clean and massage your face correctly and comfortably; you can avoid unnecessary wrinkles or steps when you care your face.

In addition, after you clean your face, please remember one thing: using the toning lotion, which can moisturize and clean your face. After this step, you can apply some lotions like day/night creams or essence everyday; that can keep your face perfectly. When you have to go out, you have to apply the sun block which seems to wear the cloth on your face; the sun block can protect your face from excess ultraviolet rays (UV). One thing that you need to do for one to two weeks is that: to exfoliate your face, because exfoliating scrub or facial scrub can help your dead cells from face and make your face smooth; on the other hand, to exfoliate your face can make the cosmetics use effectively, or you will feel the cosmetics you buy are useful.

Finally, to make your skin better need to change everything detail in daily life. For example, it’s necessary to drink water everyday, for avoiding wrinkles appear, dry skin, toxins cannot be drained away. Also, smoke, sunlight, air-conditioner, wine, lost weight, and take planes can make our skin become bad, so we have to avoid them appropriately. To sleep, relax ourselves, exercise, and massage our skin play a vital role for us; thus, try to do them regularly will good to us.

To sum up, to become beautiful must care our face seriously at first, or just want to make up by cosmetics is not valuable. Before making up, wishing you can apply these methods of two weeks’ blogs completely; hence, you can begin to learn how to use cosmetics.

How to Realize Your Skin (week 2)

Hello, readers!

Today I am going to introduce the skin, before making up yourself; do you really know what the functions of skins are? Do you know which your skin type is and how to care your face?

First of all, the skin not just gives us appearance and shape, but it serves other important functions. The functions are what our skin has:
(1) Protection means that skin can avoid moisture loss and external water coming, excessive ultraviolet rays destroying, bacteria invading, and protecting internal organs from outside pressure and injury.
(2) Regulation means that our body temperature can be regulated by blood capillary’s contraction and dilation, and sweat glands’ secretion.
(3) Sensation means that by nerve ending, people can feel touch, hot, cold, and pain.
(4) Control of evaporation[1] means that skin can eliminate toxins by sweat glands’ secretion.
(5) Storage and synthesis means that skin can generate Vitamin D by moderate ultraviolet rays.
(6) Absorption means that skin can not only absorb water, but also nutrition from cosmetic products.

Secondly, by knowing skin types, we can realize how to care our face and find the correct products which are suitable for ourselves. The skin types are:
(1) Dry skin means that the skin is abnormal dry and rough, and it can be caused by the weather, lack of vitamin A, systemic[2] illness, overexposure to sunlight, and so on. The skin loses moisture, so it may crack, peel, or become inflamed and itch.
(2) Oily skin means that the skin exudes oil, causing a shiny, wet appearance. There are many causes for oily skin such as poor diet and genetic predisposition[3]; besides, too many oil may cause pores be blocked and become pimples or other else.
(3) Combination skin means that your face most has an oily zone which includes your forehead, nose, and chin, but the rest of your skin has normal to dry patches. By the way, this kind of skin types is very common among people.
(4) Normal skin means that the skin has an even tone, soft, a smooth texture, no visible pores or blemishes, and no greasy patches or flaky areas.
(5) Sensitive skin means that the skin is a thin or a fine-textured skin. It reacts quickly to heat and cold; thus, it sunburns and wind burns easily. It is commonly dry, delicate and prone to allergic reactions. Temperature changes, some detergents, cosmetics and alcohol can all cause irritation, leaving the skin red and blotchy, with visible surface veins.

By introducing the skin, can you figure out which kind of skin types do you have? The following vedios are teaching people how to use correct methods to care your skin, and hoping they can really help you.

Hello my dear readers, thanks for willing to read my blog.

I am the girl who is now a senior student in English Language and Literature Department at TCU, and I will graduate after 3 months.

I think to write a blog which is about what I am interesting in is really great, so COSMETOLOGY become the first choice in my mind. The reasons why I start to write my blog is that this is one part of my homework, but the most important and serious reason is that I want to do the research about COSMETOLOGY and share to everybody.

People love beauty, and so do I. To beautify ourselves isn't bad, because we can use it every place and every time. Why I want to choose this is that I am now taking the cosmetics lessons and have to take cosmetology license later, for learning it I can apply it when I need to work, have interviews, take part in some formal occasions. To write something related to cosmetic can not only make me learn hard about it, but also make a win-win situation like sharing to readers.


The following weeks I will introduce how to realize the skin, the basic skin-care concepts, the professional skin-care methods, how to use the cosmetic tools, how to make-up and so on.
Hoping that you can start to know what COSMETOLOGY is by my following articles.

See you and have a good day!
